Detroit Police Department, Committee on Race & Equality (CORE) Luncheon - Conversation on Race, Police and Public Relations
CORE is a voluntary advisory Committee to the Chief of Police. CORE consists of DPD non-sworn and sworn members and should minimally be a member in good standing. These individuals are committed to advancing the work in diversity, equity, and inclusion in both Detroit Police Department and the community they serve.
CORE acts as an advisory Committee to the Chief of Police, and as a resource for Detroit Police Department members to voice their concerns regarding what they or others perceive as discriminatory treatment and/or practices based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or gender identity.
CORE is not a substitute for formal filing procedures. CORE will maintain the confidentiality of the Detroit Police Department members (sworn and civilians) who come forward to disclose issue(s) and concerns -unless the information disclosed is considered to be criminal in nature.
Additionally, CORE will collaborate with the Offices of Neighborhood Policing, Internal and External Affairs, and other offices and departments to build trust and promote collaboration through public outreach and internal initiatives.
All committees are subject to change upon need.
CORE members as a full body meet online or in-person once a month. The individual committees will gather throughout the month, as needed.
DPD members who meet the qualifications can submit the application online, in-person or send it by email.
